The Chiba prefectural police have begun using a system developed by Secom that allows the victims of stalkers to press a button on their PDA or cellphone when they feel they are being stalked. The police would then be notified via GPS technology of the victim's whereabouts. So far the police have lent three handsets to women who had reported having trouble with stalkers.
